so my bruvs viva coupe is coming along but still no luck with a front valence he was going to make one..... but...... in the local scrappy sat a manta and a quick measuring stick to the bumper... huuummmm.... promising...... and would do away with needing a valence! so 15 quid later and the rear bumper for luck we work the saw into it and perchase some glassfibre.. not finished by all means but i think it looks ok! what do you think? keep it??   oh and rear loosk like it might go too!  si |

Hmmm. Gonna need some spectacular rim action to pull it off I think. The slender chrome jobbies are so right on a Viva....

It is a jolly good fit, but if it were me I wouldn't be fitting it in place of the standrd one. Slim, standard Viva bumpers FTW!  |

A good friend of mine had a Kaddet coupe with full manta kit and it looked pretty good, in the early nineties, I wouldn't do it now if it were mine. Chrome bumpers gets my vote  |

It needs some thought to make sure it doesn't look like that blue "barry" one but could work with the right paint and rims.

Looks like they may have a chance, if its staying black, and the stance and wheels are right it could well work. |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

It's a surprisingly good fit and doesn't look too bad, but I think that the original chrome bumpers are much more in keeping with the retro/classic look.
As Reanimation says, they would look good if left black, especially if the body colour was a contrasting bright colour. It all depends on what you are doing with the rest of the car.
